Georgia resumed commercial electricity exports to Turkey from July 6, 2026. The reason was the increase in prices on the Turkish market, which again made electricity supplies from Georgia economically attractive. This is stated in the energy market review of Galt & Taggart.

From July 1 to 20, the average cost of electricity in Turkey was about 6 US cents per kWh. Among the companies exporting from Georgia were Adjara Energy 2007, Energy Development Georgia, Svaneti Hydro, Kasleti 2, Aisi LLC, Austrian Georgian Development, and ESCO. There were no commercial deliveries in June – the only exporter was ESCO, which was engaged in returning previously accumulated debt.

Earlier, exports to Turkey sharply decreased due to falling prices and an increase in its own generation in that country. In May, the volume of supplies decreased almost fivefold and amounted to 36.2 million kWh against 172 million kWh a year earlier, and the average price decreased to 2.7 cents. Now the situation has changed due to higher prices on the Turkish market, although experts note that the development of solar energy and an increase in generation within Turkey may again limit electricity imports from Georgia.
